We've got some more darkening on the chrysalis! It used to be that the cap was darker while the bottom was still vibrant green.
Now, we've got a more uniform color over the whole thing!
I wondered if this might happen, hence the later update. Go caterpillar, go! 🦋

Oh no, and oh yesssss

We've got wing spots!!! I think that means we can officially move into Butterfly Watch for our Queen Butterfly!!!
So happy to see this! I was worried that the temperature dips may have negatively affected our little caterpillar buddy. So happy to see this progress today!

Had to make a few little accents too because after all, Leaves Is Plants. ❤️

You can see translucent green on the bottom, contrasted with the darkening cap as the caterpillar begins its metamorphic soup process!

We have a *beautiful* update today!
First warm sunny day in over a week, and as a result, you can clearly see the darkening of the cap as it extends downward through the rest of the chrysalis!
And with the golden morning light, the gold flakes are sparkling beautifully!

After all, "if you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe."
...and also make caramel.

I call these pants Timeless Hart, because there are 15 buttons on the high waisted top giving Timeless Toni Storm vibes and the baggy pant legs give Julia Hart!
And there's corset lacing in the back.
I got these the other day, but finally got to snap a pic now. I love them SO much!

It's a Queen Butterfly, or Queen Monarch? Similar to monarchs but different. Not migratory, and different caterpillar & wing patterns!
Here are some of my favorite caterpillar pics. :)

Cooler temperatures have slowed the metabolic processes of the caterpillar as it undergoes its metamorphosis.
But today, we're starting to get darkening on the chrysalis cap! We've passed the halfway point, and within a few days, we'll transition to butterfly watch! 🦋

I can't really elaborate but if you've seen it, and you remember it, it's kind of perfect. ❤️

Didn't get pics of new clothes, but I did snap this fit check yesterday. I got so many compliments on this outfit! ❤️

Still a darker green, still popping with that glorious shimmering gold, still halfway to 🦋!
Not much else to report today, as the bigger update was yesterday. Now looking to further darkening, and developing wing definition!
But hey, you can see the gnomes. 😂❤️

The chrysalis has darkened just a bit further on its 6th day, which is really making that gold rim on the cap, and the flakes on the outer shell, pop!
The dark center line on the Queen caterpillar/butterfly is also more pronounced.
We've passed the halfway mark to 🦋!
